Rapid assistance for heavy trucks
Time is of particular importance when recovering trucks, as the traffic must be allowed to flow again as soon as possible. The recovery service and correct recovery procedures are therefore of great importance. If a truck must be recovered in difficult circumstances, the recovery personnel must not attach the hook just anywhere. In view of the size and robustness of heavy trucks, there are prescribed attachment points for recovery equipment. According to the guideline certain prescribed loads must under no circumstances be exceeded, otherwise the vehicle frame may suffer permanent damage. The guideline explains exactly where, how and by what means the truck may be pulled by the recovery service, so that the maximum permissible tensile forces are adhered to.
